Who do you think should have a carrier named after them? They're supposed to be named after great humans in history but that is a subjective thing. Ex. George Washington could be considered a great human, by contrast he was a monster when it came to dealing with the indians; Julius Ceasar was an amazing general, but he was a monsterous person and a brutal conquerer.

*I also think they should use full names in the future incase there's any confusion. Instead of the SSV Einstein, it would be the SSV Albert Einstein.


My Choices (I'm a libertarian so any politicians or economists will be in that vain):

Benjamin Franklin
John Tyler (10th president; most constitutionalist president)
Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th president; second-most constitutionalist president)
Sun Tzu (assuming he even existed)
Ludwig Von Mises
Dwight Eisonhower (for work as general not as president)
George Patton

*The SSV Penn & Teller would be funny

Are you joking?  Penn & Teller would fit right in with that list.  Your choices are three American presidents (only one of whom had any significance on history whatsoever), an economist whose only noteworthy attribute was that he was libertarian, a guy whose VERY EXISTENCE you are unsure of, and two American generals.  I love Patton, but he's more noteworthy for his attitude than his achievements.  At least Eisenhower was a supreme commander.  The OP seems very much like you trying to make an excuse to say "go libertarians."  I don't think this is the right place to make (thinly veiled) threads for political discussion.

thompsmt's list, as noted, is a pretty good place to start.  Although I don't agree with all the choices, it's mostly quality.  A few suggestions:
Adam Smith
Karl Marx
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Isaac Asimov (not sure about writers, but if you nominate Heinlein/Orwell, you need Asimov)
Muhammad Ali (IMO, the greatest of the great athletes are serious inspirations)
--I went with Ali after considering Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but I could be swayed.

Speaking as an American, I'd like to see Washington and Jefferson on a list like this for their roles in creating this country, but I'm not sure how much bearing that has on an outsiders' version of worldwide historical significance.

Isaac Asimov (ugh, ninja'd. Still he does deserve a ship a lot more than some of the others)
Ray Bradbury
John Wyndham
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Nicola Tesla
Carl Sagan

The people who believed in impossible things and those who helped make them a reality.

I really don't think politicians are the people who should be remembered in that way, seems far to egotistical to me. Other people deserve far more recognition than them (just my opinion)

Been having a think about some of these names and realised why some of them I really don't like, it's the connections to greed. (That and the "he was president of the US, we must name things after him!!!" school of thought)

Memorialising people because of what they did for money, land or power. It just seems really immoral to me, especially when people who actually did good and acted selflessly are left by the wayside.

But I guess I'm a cynic who doesn't trust anyone who either has or wants power. (And is sick of sci-fi acting like once a person leaves earth they automatically become American:unsure:)

[thompsmt]

If you can have Casey Hudson, then I nominate Marc Miller.

I'd say that the people would have to have reputations transcending borders and that politicians would have to be INCREDIBLY universally important and loved to qualify.  I'd say that scientists, philosophers, social activists and philianthropists would dominate the list.  Great military minds could also qualify, but they'd have to be established as non-offensive.

- Stephen Hawking
- Martin Luther King Jr.
- Mahatma Gandhi
- Isaac Newton
- Charles Darwin
- Aristotle
- William Shakespeare
- Jonas Salk
- Ludwig van Beethoven

 
Just to name a few.  I don't agree with any US presidents being included beyond maybe Lincoln.  I also don't believe any overly religious figures should be considered such as any popes.  Astronauts/Cosmonauts are also out as they have their own realm of naming (ie: "Jump Zero" also known as Gagarin Station, first moon base was Armstrong).  

Another thing to consider is the possibility of "fictional" people being used who are from a time period after our own but before the time of the games.  For example:

-The first Prime Minister of the System's Alliance
-Famous scientists who perfected human genetic manipulation or advanced mass effect technology
-Artists and philosophers who pioneered the new "extra solar" landscape after humanities discovery of the relays

EDIT:
In the category of "future" luminaries who would likely be chosen, the human inventor of Medi-Gel from the human Sirta Foundation would likely get a shoe-in.

Well Frigates are named after battles so...
I need to see one called the SSV Stalingrad. I really do.

As long as we don't get a carrier called the SSV John Steinbeck. It would be garrunteed to have a horribly depressing end.
